Byron the Juvenile Delinquent
The book that my class and I are reading is ''The Watsons Go to Birmingham-1963''. One of the sons, Byron, who is the oldest is conceited but Kenny the narrator says Byron is also a juvenile delinquent. Byron is a good brother to his little brother Kenny and little sister Joetta. In the beginning of the story Byron is a juvenile delinquent as Kenny says but he actually changes at the end of the story when their momma takes all of them to Birmingham, Alabama which is where their grandma lives.
In the book it shows many reasons why Kenny said that Byron is a juvenile delinquent. Byron is a big billy and one time a boy name Larry Dunn took Kenny's gloves. Then Byron made Larry Dunn give it back but a group started to form and Byron just beat up Larry for attention.

HW #57
1. I think high school will be much different because one,the higher the grade you are in you get less homework.Two my class dont have to hear high schoolars saying look at the little six graders.Third I think high school will be different from middle school because we will take more test,exams,mid-terms,and quizzes that will get us prepared for college.
2. I think middle school will prepare me for high school because when I'am in the 6th grade which prepares me for 7 then 8 and so on.So middle school does prepare you for what you will learn in the future.
3. I want to know how hard will the tests be in high school and stuff like what kind of teacher will I have,a man or women.

HW #31
The song that I chose is called "Strength''and is by Whitney Houston.It some times makes me cry because it reminds me of my aunt Maxine who died.She used to say ''Even though Im dying I still have strength''.So now I love that song .In the song Whitney Houston was saying she didnt know her strength.That part reminds me of myself because you never know your own strength until like somebody mess with you and you just wild out.
